Monarca (2019) s01e06 Episode Script

The Other Reality

1
Good morning.
Wait, he's not going anywhere alone.
Then he stays here. Boss's orders.
-That's not what we agreed.
-It's all right.
It's fine, Hound. Don't worry.
I'll go alone.
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL PRODUCTION
MONARCA HOTEL GIVEN CLOSURE ORDER
Goddammit.
FIASCO AT THE OPENING
OF NEW MONARCA HOTEL
-Flo.
-Huh?
It's your office.
Hello?
Yes, I read the articles.
We're in every newspaper.
We have to respond soon.
What video?
@PCARRANZA AND YOU
HAVE BEEN TAGGED IN A VIDEO.
AURELIO: HOLY SHIT, DUDE!
YOU'RE FAMOUS!
TRENDING TOPIC
#MonarcaHeirs
We're at the opening party of the hotel.
We can hear the party already.
It's a good start.
We have a panoramic view of the city.
I'll show you how the rich
and not-so-famous like to party.
There's nothing better
than feeling superior to others.
All you need is money
if you want to be "in".
Jacuzzis are an absolute must.
LYNCH THEM ALL!
THAT'S WHY MEXICO IS SCREWED!
FAMILY OF PIGS!
SHITTY-ASS HEIRS!
Over here, we have
what very well may be
the biggest prize of all.
KILL HIM!
-HYPOCRITE CARRANZA RAPISTS!
-WHERE ARE THEIR PARENTS?
There's nothing more romantic than this.
This is very
Welcome
Over here, we have
what very well may be
The biggest prize of all?
-Pablo!
-Calm down.
We don't know what happened. Calm down.
Pablo!
-Calm down.
-What is this? What exactly did you do?
Dad, I swear she's the one
who came on to me!
Ask Aurelio, he saw it!
The girl was unconscious!
That's not true, she was wasted,
but I swear she was awake.
Have you seen the video?
She looks like she's dead!
If he says she was conscious,
I believe him.
Do you understand the gravity
of what you did?
Don't look at your mom! I'm asking!
I don't know, Dad!
That's enough.
-The whole thing was her idea!
-I'd be scared shitless if I were you!
You're in big trouble!
We're all in big trouble!
It was her idea. Don't you get it?
-Mom, I swear that
-I believe you.
I believe you, sweetie.
Everything will be all right. OK?
I swear it's not what it looked like.
I wouldn't let Pablo do that.
Sweetie, I believe you.
Where is the original video?
Is it still on your phone?
No, it was a live post.
-Well, we need to get it.
-Well, we can't.
Well, how did the son of a bitch end up
with the video in the first place?
I don't know that. Maybe he was
recording while I was live streaming.
I don't know.
Why did he edit the video to make it look
like Camila had something to do with this?
Well, how could we know that?
I mean, why do people do anything
on the internet?
TT - MY LORD CARRANZA!
#PabloThePig
TT - PABLO CARRANZA
#RAPIS
Could be an attack on you.
Look, I think it's simple.
You're a Carranza.
You're a target.
What?
So, all this could be because of Monarca?
No, sweetie.
It's Andres.
Hello?
What the hell was Camila thinking
when she posted that video?
Do you realize how serious this is?
She meant no harm. It was a live post.
That's even worse!
Why the hell was she live streaming?
What do you mean? They record everything.
Someone else downloaded it
and then edited it somehow.
Besides, she had no idea
Pablo was in there.
First, the hotel fiasco last night,
and now we're in serious trouble.
We need to meet
with our publicist right now.
But not in the office.
Let's do it at my place.
No way, I'll see you at Mom's.
All right.
Ana, I need you to realize
how fucked we are.
I'll pay off whoever I must,
this is not about Pablo.
This involves your daughter,
the company and the entire family, got it?
IT'S OBVIOUS SHE'S NO SAINT,
BUT RATHER A DRUNK IN A MINISKIR
WHO FOOLS AROUND WITH ANYONE.
Dad, I know you're on a trip, but you
need to see the scandal with my cousins.
Call me back, please.
Welcome, Carranza.
Follow me.
Delete it.
Lower your voice.
-Delete it!
-Pablo will hear you.
I don't care if he does! Delete it!
I don't see why I should.
Have you seen that girl's profile?
Are you hearing yourself, Ximena?
How is the girl to blame?
Please, Andrés, don't be naive.
Deep down, you agree with me.
So, women have to dress like nuns
not to be raped?
-I'm not saying that.
-What are you saying?
Pablo doesn't deserve
all the stuff they're posting about him.
Andrés, some people
are making death threats.
It's social media, Ximena!
What did you expect?
I'm not taking it lightly the way you are.
I wrote that to defend our son
from this social lynching.
And that's not all
I'll keep doing it.
-Ximena
-If that means attacking someone
-so be it.
-Xime
Ximena, honey, you don't get it.
This is really serious.
He could be sued. He might end up in jail!
Starting now, everything we do
is crucial for his defense.
I need you to delete this. Please.
You know this is all
being blown out of proportion.
What Pablo did is fucked up.
We can't fool ourselves,
and you can't go off on your own.
We'll get some lawyers, we'll do it right,
but we'll do it together.
Fine.
Hi, I'm Sara.
I'm busy. Leave a message. Bye!
CARLOS: WHAT A MESS
WITH THE VIDEO. I'M SORRY.
CAMILA: ME TOO
CARLOS: YOU HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT,
BUT YOU'RE BEING ATTACKED.
CAMILA: THEY'RE ATTACKING YOU TOO
CARLOS: YEAH, BUT DON'T WORRY.
I'LL KEEP DEFENDING YOU.
CAMILA: THANKS.
Listen, I don't want to waste
any of your time,
so I'll get to the point.
I have a business proposal.
I decide when it's time to talk business.
I hope you know how to use it.
What? Didn't your old man teach you?
I need you to handle the Arabs.
Please talk to them.
We have to salvage that relationship
and regain their trust.
Yeah, I'll talk to them. Don't worry.
How are things looking over there?
Delegate Cueto has us by the balls.
He shut us down early and no one
can come in until the seals are lifted.
But we need to take pictures
from the inside, for the insurance.
Yeah, Lourdes is trying to find
a legal way for us to go in.
Stop worrying.
Focus on your daughter for now,
and leave Monarca to me.
Call me if there's any suspicion
that it wasn't an accident.
You got it. I'll keep you posted.
Ana María
You know I'm here for you.
Thank you.
I'm really sorry
you got roped into all this shit.
I guess there's an investigation
already underway.
I don't buy that it was
an accident, Andrés.
Why not?
I personally checked the installation
with our engineer.
Do you think I'd let them install it
without a thorough inspection?
We're checking if it was an attack.
It was obviously an attack
against your damn family.
My reputation and career
are on the line, damn it.
Good morning, Lourdes Carranza.
I'm the legal representative.
-Good morning.
-Bernardo Veléz.
What happened? Have you found anything?
We found a reactive substance
often used as a detonator.
An explosive.
So, someone caused the accident?
We'll have to run some tests,
but it looks that way.
When can we go inside?
Until further notice.
No one can go in for now.
-Excuse me.
-Thank you.
What do you want us to do
about the sculpture?
That's between my lawyers
and Monarca's lawyers.
They have to sort out
the matter of the insurance.
I see, so we're getting lawyers involved.
You're mad at me for some reason
and you're making it personal.
You've gotta be kidding.
No, you've gotta be kidding.
You should be with Pablo right now.
He needs you, so does your family.
We'll talk later.
You're brushing me off right now?
At the worst possible time?
There's no better or worse time,
it is what it is.
What do you want?
Tell me the truth. What do you want?
I need some time
away from you.
Time, my love.
I just want us to
Time, time.
Let's take some time.
Right now, it's time for you
to go fuck yourself.
Right now, please.
What are you doing here?
I thought I worked here.
I know, they won't let me in.
I can't do anything.
I just want to fix this mess
as soon as possible.
When will we learn?
The universe is clearly telling me
to stay away from all this.
Don't say that, Gon.
Everything was going great.
-No one was fighting, we were happy
-Don't you get it?
Nothing can bring this family together,
except for tragedy.
Why do you say that?
Because it's the truth.
Gonzalo
Whoever cuts us out is stealing from us.
Simple as that.
The alliance was working fine,
but your father got stubborn.
And I can't let people
get stubborn, can I?
That's why we bombed the warehouse.
But we didn't kill him.
Decisions must be made coldly.
Otherwise, we're all fucked.
Carranza, you're too eager. Calm down.
Patience.
Patience?
I'm sick and tired of being patient.
At this point
I'm capable of doing anything.
We'll see about that.
Mrs. Carranza!
Over here, ma'am.
Do you have any statements at this point?
Mrs. Carranza!
PABLO: HEY, MAN. I'M IN TROUBLE.
I NEED YOUR HELP.
BLOCKED USER - OK
BLOCKED USER - OK
Hi, you know what to do.
Pablo is devastated.
He's being attacked on social media,
and no one is questioning that girl.
For starters, she was drunk.
That's prejudiced and ignorant.
Have you seen the video?
Silence.
It you want to start arguing,
do it elsewhere, all right?
Andrés, Ana María
shall we go in?
PABLO: ALL THIS MESS IS YOUR FAULT!
CAMILA: SO YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING?
PABLO: OF COURSE NOT.
CAMILA: YOU HAVE SERIOUS ISSUES.
Camila has no liability.
As for Pablo, we have to wait
to see if the aggrieved girl
files a lawsuit for rape.
Aggrieved girl? Pablo didn't do anything.
Arturo, what are the legal implications
for Pablo?
Well
If we exploit a few loopholes
and call in some favors,
we can modify the judge's
interpretation of the video.
We'll claim that it wasn't
sexual harassment per se,
but rather an incidental rubbing,
lacking any lascivious intent.
What's the worst-case scenario?
Maybe a fine and that's it, right?
I know the legal team
representing Miss Álvarez.
They're aggressive.
We should assume they'll file a lawsuit.
And they'll fight.
Which means?
That, in this case,
it's not just about the money.
Sara's family is also rich
and influential,
so Pablo might end up
in a juvenile facility.
What do you mean in a juvenile facility?
Master, your parents want to see you.
Thanks.
Hello, my name is Luz María Monroy.
I'm in charge
of Monarca's public relations.
This might sound harsh,
but in my experience,
attacking is the best defense.
What kind of attack?
The effective kind.
Taking away Sara's victimhood
and portraying her as a minor
who drank underage,
and who then seduced another minor
to level unfounded accusations against him
and take advantage of the situation.
That's what I've been saying
all this time.
But that's not true.
I mean, she was drunk,
but she didn't abuse Pablo!
Going to the bathroom was her idea.
-Is that your excuse?
-It's not an excuse.
Stop it.
There must be some other way
to defend Pablo without attacking her.
I'm not sacrificing my son.
That's not what this is about.
This girl is going through hell.
Why put her through more?
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
Has anyone seen her profile?
It's clear that the girl loves attention.
-Are you serious?
-Oh, great, so now she is a hooker.
It's easy to be so self-righteous
when it's not your daughter
who might go to jail.
What?
Keep your opinion to yourselves,
because this is not a democracy.
Camila has done enough damage
with her video.
Do you realize
how diluted your reality is?
-Do you?
-Oh, Martin. You are not helping.
I know, but this is cra
Let's not argue.
We must stand together on this.
-But, I'm
-Wait, Ximena.
I'll ask you a favor.
Do whatever you have to do
to save my grandson.
No Carranza will ever set foot in jail.
Mom, you're asking her to destroy
the life of an innocent girl.
I'm not asking her
to destroy anyone's life.
Only to save my grandson.
We can't take part in this.
There has to be a way to do this
without us becoming monsters.
Why don't we talk to Sara's parents?
Maybe offer a public apology,
or maybe a corrective measure.
Pablo might have to get therapy
for a while.
A public apology is like admitting
We'll do it to keep Pablo out of jail.
Do you hear me?
Set it up.
We'll contact the Álvarez family
and set up a meeting,
but you must stand together,
at least in the public eye.
Any statements to the media
or on social media
must go through my office first.
Hi, I'm Lourdes
and I'm an addict.
I've been sober for five years.
Lately
I've been wondering what would happen
if my mother were still alive.
I think she would be very proud of me.
But I don't know
how she'd feel about my dad.
The last time I drank
was on the anniversary of her death.
I got wasted,
and my brother had a fight with my dad.
He went too far.
That day
he blamed my father for
for what Mom did.
For her death.
So, the inevitable happened.
My dad beat him up.
Viciously.
And I wasn't there.
I was at a bar.
My brother was in the hospital.
My father is a good person.
He's not a violent man.
How are you supposed to react
if you're told the love of your life
killed herself because of you?
He reacted out of grief!
He reacted out of pain, I suppose.
Look over there.
Look.
Shoot.
Nice shot, man!
I guess we can continue our conversation.
When my father is around
NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS
he can cause a lot of damage.
Such a shame
to let some woman steal your throne.
I know why you're here.
You want me to kill your sister?
No.
Then what the hell do you want?
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
I know you have an early class tomorrow,
but will you spend the night?
I can stay as long as you want.
Hey, what if?
What if you move in?
We haven't been dating very long.
It's only been six months, my love.
I love you.
And I love you too!
I love you, you love me.
You move in, and I cook while you study.
What about your family?
I couldn't care less.
Yeah?
Yes. Yes!
-Are you sure?
-I'm sure.
Good afternoon.
We're here to apologize
for the events at the hotel last night.
The children drank alcohol,
that was wrong.
We had security staff
with specific instructions
not to let them drink,
but they still got ahold of alcohol,
so we're sorry about that.
Your son scarred my girl
for the rest of her life.
I know we can't possibly understand
the pain you're going through,
but we want to apologize
and see if there's anything we can do.
Nothing.
Our people found your tweet
before you deleted it.
"It's obvious she's no saint,
but rather a drunk in a miniskirt
who fools around with anyone."
Alejandro, that was a mistake
Let me explain.
People were threatening to kill my son.
We know you're here
to keep Sara from pressing charges.
But it's too late.
We wanted to tell you in person
that we're pressing charges
-and we're taking this all the way.
-Fernanda, please
From now on,
all communication
will pass through our lawyers.
-Goodbye.
-No, wait!
Pablo is willing to issue
a public apology!
-Please, listen!
-It's done.
-Let's get out of here.
-No, we can't.
PABLO
-What's up?
-"What's up?"
Dude, I've been calling you all day!
Yeah, I know.
Listen, you have to stop calling me.
Don't drag me into your mess.
You know I would never
do anything like that.
Don't even think about
telling anyone I was there.
LIVE RECORDING
Fuck.
Mom.
Momma, have you seen this?
What is it?
Look at this.
Luz María, there are still posts
about my daughter.
I know, we're neutralizing it.
But there are more coming.
We can't control the Internet.
I don't care, do what you must.
Just delete everything, got it?
We're on it.
Mrs. Cecilia talked
to the Domínguez family.
They promised not to air anything
on their news and radio stations.
But the Pérez-Ruiz family is with Sara,
and they'll pull out heavy artillery.
What about us?
Where's our artillery?
We're talking to the other networks,
and we have a list of influencers
who'll create controversy
and question the video's authenticity.
They'll take attention away from Pablo
as much as possible.
Good, that's good.
Did you talk to Ceballos?
He was hired by Sara's family.
How the hell did they get him?
I spoke with him
and I offered him more money,
but he thinks that Sara
has a better chance of winning.
We have to talk to Pablo.
This is a delicate situation.
Sara's parents want to press charges.
What does that mean?
It means we'll get legally ready
for anything that might come.
It means that unless you want
all this to get worse,
you'll do everything we tell you to do.
Hey
do you understand?
Yeah.
Sorry.
It wasn't an accident.
The experts have just confirmed
that there were traces of an explosive
where the cables met the ceiling.
I don't know who the hell is behind this,
but they're not messing around.
Clearly, this is an attack against me.
Against my family. Against Monarca.
Ana María, forget about Monarca.
That's not important now.
Take care of yourself.
Call a board meeting.
-We need to know where we're at.
-OK, consider it done.
This is the war my father
warned me about, Bernardo.
Bernardo.
Martin.
-Sorry.
-Thank you, Bernardo.
Have a good night.
Hey, you look great in that shirt.
It's time.
Let's talk business.
What's your plan?
I want to push Herederos Tequila
to the brink of bankruptcy.
What?
The son wants to destroy
the father's company?
I'll buy all the agave in Tequila
so I can drive up the price.
It won't be cheap.
Money isn't a problem.
So, where do I come in?
I need you to help me destroy
all of Monarca's plantations.
Once Monarca is out of agave,
my sister will need to buy more.
And since I'll own all of it,
the company will take a dive.
And then you'll pressure your family
into selling you their stocks.
I'll take over the company
and things will go back to normal.
That sounds good
for you.
No
for us.
When I'm CEO of Monarca,
we'll pay you three percent
for protection.
Make it five percent. Wartime prices.
And 40% of all Monarca trucks
will carry my product.
All right.
But stay away from my family.
Leave them alone for good.
There's something else
I want you to do for me.
I want you to schedule a meeting
with our fine state's governor
at a time and place of my choosing.
You've never killed anyone, have you?
Well, there's a first time for everything.
It doesn't do you any good
to keep reading this shit.
But they're talking about Sara
as if she were to blame.
I just can't imagine
what she must be going through.
And it's just getting started.
You see it's different here.
If a guy gets with a girl, he's a stud
whereas she's a slut.
Ugh, those pigs.
I have an idea. Will you help me?
I'm exhausted.
Where are the kids?
Asleep. I think.
Hi, I'm Camila Carranza.
Camila Ross Carranza.
Although you probably already know that.
The video we all watched is
an edited version of what
really happened at the hotel.
I was live streaming.
Anyway, this video
is not about defending myself.
What happened yesterday was terrible.
You don't need to take this.
-I do.
-You don't.
I have to. Come on.
What is it, Andrés?
She's posting a new video.
Who?
Get Camila under control!
-Damn it.
-What's going on?
It's Camila.
She is not a slut.
She was with her friends.
She's streaming. What?
Yet everyone is attacking Sara
as if she were to blame.
As if the way she was dressed
Who cares what she was wearing?
Who cares if she was drunk?
Nothing can justify what happened
or how she's being judged now.
Sara, if you're watching this,
I want you to know
that I stand fully behind you.
Done.
Mom, I am so sorry. I know.
Ana María!
Joaquín!
So?
You have a deal.
Deal, partner.
Joaquín, don't forget
but you already know.
Betrayal comes at a high price
around here.
Don't lose it.
I'll give you a call about Madam Governor.
Buddy
you and I will have a lot of fun.
You'll see.
